Krimson KB Reacts - A Crap Guide to Final Fantasy XIV - Ranged DPS

[@KrimsonKB]

Edit: Reassemble + Drill. Shut up I'm old and I do not accept your "actually".

[@ryzacobalion3622]

"And everybody knows when the opening kicks on you deal more damage." every anime fan can confirm this

[@tigerwarrior1787]

Bard: *Plays Sono Chi No Sadame* Everyone else: JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOJO!!! *Samurai hits their LB3*

[@alioness-w-noregrets7471]

5:55 I can’t stop laughing at the random piano banging. It cracks me up!!!

[@thenerdbeast7375]

They should give Monks a Blitzball to toss in reference to Wakka from FFX.

[@JakeCWolf]

First it should be a kick at low level, then a jumping spin kick and at highest level it should be a jumping upside down power kick.

[@Kuroshii_ID]

​@@JakeCWolf ...Jecht Shot?

[@peregrine5327]

They should add Blitzball Player as a whole class just to take the absolute piss.

[@JakeCWolf]

@@Kuroshii_ID Be an awesome throwback.

[@Irisfantasies]

I've honestly thought they could add something like a rock throw in the form of mnk kicking the ground to unearth said rock then kicking it towards the target location. Kinda what rock benders do in avatar. Would be sick honestly

[@TheIvoryDingo]

Personally, when I'm playing a Physical Ranged job in a Trial, Normal Raid or Alliance Raid, I will generally only use an LB3 if: 1. I know the fight doesn't require a Tank LB3 2. The party is in good enough health so a Healer LB3 isn't needed 3. The boss only has 15-10% health left and the Melees/Casters take too long And the surprising thing is that I still get to see my LB3's pretty often (disregarding MSQ roulette).

[@garbagebandit5934]

"If you do bad, it's a skill issue." Truer words have never been said. Between having no downtime whatsoever, freedom of movement, and arguably the simplest rotations among the DPS, (except maybe SMN, the hidden 4th Ranged Phys) there's really no excuse. It's literally just hit buttons and watch what the boss does so you don't get one-shot.

[@animegx45]

Melee takes priority on LB, then the ranged, but if you're a BLM like me, you'll pop it because caster LBs are fun to watch and I like to laugh manically as I drop a meteor that deals little damage on the boss's head.

[@et3inuyasha]

Or if you're a Red Mage, and love blinding the party with Verflashbang

[@coleslade]

Krimson saying he plays Machinist because of the lack of RNG. Meanwhile I'm over here having flashbacks of maining it when it first came out. Oh you sweet summer child.

[@KrimsonKB]

[@coleslade]

@@KrimsonKB Then I salute, my fellow pained grease monkey. :D

[@bandi138138]

Let's put it this way. I got excited for it, and then I went back to maining Black Mage.

[@Gsoda35]

I still remember my first experience with all the ranged jobs. always so excited when an ability blinked.

[@cparle87]

1:03 "Give monks a hadoken!" Preach it! 1:49 Cannot argue. 6:25 "Ohh, the reassembled chainsaw, Batsy!" 7:25 Sadly this is not wrong. Been playing dancer for months and tried to make my own flowchart like this. Spent all afternoon, failed, didn't understand it any better. Then saw Jocat yesterday and realized I was doing it wrong. 7:33 Jocat is a bard. We have all seen the evidence of Jocat being a bard. And here he does it again. 8:00 You actually went crosseyed in the video watching that in case it was subconscious.

[@virys.5887]

Did he just drop a "wunderbar"? 😍

[@Kalakauai123]

Now we need magical Dps from Jocat.

[@ndisfoshiz]

Then a crap guide to crafting and gathering

[@arachineatzeer7478]

@@ndisfoshiz And to BLU as they'll probably not be in the magic vid

[@DarthZ01]

i once had a tank get made at me for not doing my aoe rotation right as a machinist because he saw me spamming just one ability over and over... no, he had never played machinist before.

[@OMAGAICE122]

I've never had my tanks complain about me following them around spamming the AoE Cone of Bullets before. Clearly that person does not branch out of his class, at all.

[@ogre589]

Yah know its ironic that DNC is seen as a supportive dps because they have one of the hardest hitting attacks in the form of Technical Finish. Fully charged thats a 1200 potency hit and with Devilment, thats an easy critical direct hit. I've seen 26k to 27k direct crits and im not even lvl 90. I expect to see over 30k by the end of it.

[@senounatsuru6453]

Counterpoint: Drill, Chainsaw, and Air Anchor. That's 1800 potency every 60 seconds without a charge and at least one of those is guaranteed to be a critical direct hit.

[@ogre589]

@@senounatsuru6453 Except thats 3 separate attacks. Also MCH is the selfish Ranged DPS. I expect you to do more.

[@wingedparagon4448]

As a DRK main (off tank), can confirm, opener & burst window makes my range DPS static members sad. May look at picking up a Ranged DPS as something when I get bored of tanking, they look fun.

[@OMAGAICE122]

Swapped from Paladin to Machinist recently, gotta say it is very fun following the tank down hallways pumping out .556 in a cone. By the time they stop the enemies are either dead or half health and then we just do it again 😅.

[@jacobmcdonald8911]

Only just now found your channel because I love JoCat! You are very funny, and I can't wait to watch more of your stuff!

[@beatrixkaelin5120]

To be Fair, DPS and Ranged LBs get their use in Dungeons. Anyone who complains about using AoE Limit breaks on huge groups of enemies need to be smacked.

[@gamingfae3909]

But you don't get to see the cool lb3 animations in dungeons :(

[@darthmarth87]

surprised at no mention of the single best skill in the game. I'm talking Peloton, of course.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

A new guide and a new song from JoCat!

[@soltymc172]

yeah KB i´m a simpel man to MCH is my fav. Range Dps 😆 but a Samurai at heart 😉

[@shiroyuma2876]

yeah it be nice to have multiple LBs to use instead of 1 per 8 group party of LB3

[@IKMcGwee]

I'm making Monk... And yes, let me chuck rocks at least dang it. I've been having to get creative with Howling Fist...

[@jencendiary]

If you are not popping the lb as a ranged during the second or third leg of mobs, you are wasting it. That is all. Every dungeon, ranged or caster lb.

[@craigfunk3453]

And as I shared in the comments of the video itself....DNC RNG is a more atrocious version of MCH back in HW when they had AMMO to force their procs to happen. And then you get a dungeon run where EVERY SINGLE PROC fails to happen outside your 'give me all my procs' every min ability. Its horrid at times

[@Irisfantasies]

Dnc rng isnt as bad as some people make it to be and its highly exaggerated, yeah theres times you go dry for 2 or 3 rotations of your 1-2 but it usually procs very consistently, you can also force procs every minute with flourish.

[@jarzz3601]

you should be using lb on mobs in things like alliance raid cause the lb resets at the start of each boss but no one ever does so only time you see ranged lb is when a melee dps refuses to use lb

[@KMartin1311]

As a Machinst main.....YES.....just.....YES. That is all.

[@Mrwednesday84]

4'10" catgirl machinist main, smol but fiesty.

[@venny1689]

Do monks not know enlightment exists?

[@KrimsonKB]

Yes and it's for cleave. Give them a smaller, spammable Hadouken for when they have to move away from the bosses. Or Rock Throw.

[@venny1689]

@@KrimsonKB it might be for cleave but it's still ranged. Obviously it's not the best, it's just an intended weakness of the monk class.
